Whanganui Race 8

WANGANUI GLASS C5 520M

Stake: $6,300

BIG TIME TOBY (2) goes very well at the course and distance with six wins and a placing from 10 starts. In the money last time at Wanganui Straight (17.31) in a Class 5, finishing a one length second. Has the ability and should feature. BIG TIME BRAVE (7) got around the 457m at Manawatu to take a Class 5 in a slick 26.01 for a 0.6 lengths success. Should be in this for a long way. BIG TIME ASHTON (6) is progressing well with another good run last time, placing (17.42) at Wanganui Straight. Has a solid record from this box including two wins and a minor placing. Well-placed to take this out. BIG TIME MAESTRO (1) generally performs well from this box and is in the mix.

Comments

Missed the frame last start when fourth and beaten 3.5 lengths at Wanganui Straight. Form solid prior to that including a win at Manawatu three back. Capable and may well bounce back this time.

Was among the placegetters latest at Wanganui Straight when a one length second but did clock a fast 17.31 over the 313m trip. Rates a top chance with a repeat here.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage fourth last time out over 313m at Wanganui Straight. Hard to envisage a win.

Eye-catching performance to score by 2.5 lengths in a Class 4 last start at Manawatu, clocking a fast 25.97 over the 457m trip. Should be in this for a long way.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at Manawatu over 457m in 26.01 last start, beating Big Time Ashton. The last win was in one of the quickest times on the card. Stick with her.
